CNBC.com Article: Marc Faber: Market Setting Up for ‘Serious Setback’

Global markets have been weakening technically and are poised to head sharply downward, “Gloom, Boom & Doom Report” editor Marc Faber said Tuesday on CNBC.

On “Fast Money,” he stood by his call that stocks would fall 20 percent.

“Basically, I think QE3, which I think is unlimited, and bond purchases by the ECB bailout of countries have been largely discounted by the market, and the markets have been weaking technically, so I believe that we may have here quite a serious setback,” he said.






Faber discounted the role of government intervention as a way to improve economic conditions.


“We need less policies, not more policies,” he said.

“I would love to see everywhere in the world, certainly in the Western world, government expenditures and government bureaucrats cut by minimum 50 percent,” he added. “That would turn me very bullish.”

Pressed for a place to put his money, Faber looked to Asia.
